. >> real quickly let's show everybody the federal government new cnn/orc poll. the question being should the federal government develop a plan for undocumented immigrants to become legal residents? 53% say yes. then we have this. this is really interesting, victoria. because this bipartisan group of senators coming out today almost stealing the thunder from the president's first big policy speech coming tomorrow in las vegas. there is the immigration 8 right there. marco rubio a part of that immigration 8. and he wrote a las vegas review op-ed saying my hope is president obama will use his voice and influence to further this approach. however, if what he offers is a process for the undocumented that is more lenient, faster and unfair to those waiting to come legally, it won't bode well for reform. didn't use the word amnesty but that's what he's talking about. >> you know what other word he didn't use, thomas? illegal. so he intended to talk about illegal immigrants, illegal immigration. and we've seen a change in the rhetoric of how marco rubio is talking about

according to an israeli poll out last friday, netanyahu's coalition government is still expected to end up with a plurality of parliament seats. this is important. the expected number is down to about 32. that's far below its high point of 44 last fall. on the left, the labor party is expected to hold 17 seats. and on the right, jewish home is expected to gain 14, up from 6 in an october poll. in all, a dozen parties are expected to pick up parliament seats. polls in israel will close at 10:00 local time, that's 3:00 p.m. eastern time, and we should start getting results about two hours later. joining me now to discuss all of this, the u.s./israeli relationship, and most importantly, where we go from here is former democratic california congresswoman, jane harman. congresswoman, it's a complicated situation. did netanyahu make a mistake my sort of aligning himself with the right coalition wise, rather than reaching more out to the center, as the polling suggests. the right is gaining steam, the center and center left are not. was that a miscalculation on his part, as we move forward? >>
